My instructor praised my “use of symbolism in the cloud shapes” for this painting, but really I was just going by one of the many photographs I took of a gorgeous Humboldt County sunset. Sometimes a cloud is just a cloud.

Of course now that she’s said that, I find myself moved by the poignant struggle illustrated by the tank-shaped cloud on the right mercilessly pursuing the poor turtle carrying a pastry in his mouth, as he tries to feed the ravenous bunny with the detachable jaw on the right.
…nope, still just a bunch of pretty clouds.
